The Open Data Ensemble
The Open Data Ensemble (ODE) is a comprehensive platform for building sophisticated data collection instruments. It provides a collection of open source technologies and resources that help you build and deploy digital tools for mobile data collection. Together, we envision a world where data collection is seamless, efficient, and accessible to everyone, enabling better decision-making through high-quality data.
ODE Platform Demo
ODE is flexible by design, and applications built using the ODE framework support an exceptional range of features and data collection scenarios. Explore our platform to see sample configurations, data collection workflows, and more!

Great for longitudinal field studies
ODE is a platform for building sophisticated data collection instruments.
Focus on what matters
Spend your time designing your data collection instruments instead of building the infrastructure for it.
Cross platform & open source
ODE is available for Android and iOS. It is 100% FLOSS (Free (Libre) Open Source Software) and focused on providing great DX
ODE Community
The ODE Community is a space for developers, data scientists, researchers, and innovators to share knowledge, provide technical assistance to other users, and explore new opportunities for learning and collaboration.
It features product updates and roadmaps, discussions about the resources included in ODE, and more. We invite you to join us and introduce yourself!
Creating Open Source Technology Together
Developers and designers in our open source community work together to build and expand the technical components that power applications built with the Open Data Ensemble, explore new integrations, and create reference applications that serve as templates for the creation of new data collection tools.
Want to join us or build a new integration? Check out our GitHub or join us on the Community Forum!
